You have been injured in a vehicle accident at no fault of your own and now, a victim that is open to a nurturing, caring supportive system that wants to see you rehabilitated and moving on with your life.
Recognizing your lack of ability to deal with the complex forms, procedures and information supplied by the insurance companies, you select a lawyer who will represent your best interests for no fee unless a suitable settlement is made on your behalf.
At this point in time, should a law firm believe they can obtain a settlement and accept your case, you will feel a sense of relief that it will all be taken care of.
Unfortunately, your life is about to change not just from the injuries but the process you will be subjected to while fighting for proper treatment, compensation and respect.
Your experience will be dictated by the Process and to what degree you participate.
Understand that you are an asset to your insurance company until you become injured at which point you are now a liability. You are a liability to the defending insurance company but an asset to a lawyer should they decide you have value and an asset to the many medical professionals who support the injury system.
Make no mistake, this is a business and while many will empathize with your situation, you are a financial portfolio and no longer a victim, managed by all participants according to SABS, the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule. This is a business, and the Ontario Government makes this all possible for you.
It is our intention to provide an unbiased perspective, for you the victim, so there will be no surprises along your journey. All material is based on a real case with quotes from various professional submissions as documented along the way.
We are open to email comments on your thoughts and experiences which will not be shared or published without consent.
